Original Water Heaters & Water Shutoff Values

Posted on Feb 26th, 2020

Original Water Heaters

If you have an original water heater then this is a URGENT WARNING!
These water heaters are over twenty years old and many have started leaking
One was just reported recently and it cause damage to your unit and your downstair neighbor's
We are hoping that there are no more in service
Each home owner is responsible for the cost of this maintenance

Please, please Please, replace your original water heater BEFORE it starts leaking.

This is a WHEN and NOT an IF situation.

Main Water Shutoff Valve

Each unit has a main water shutoff valve
The valve is located in the same closet as your water heater
My valve is blue and it is on the pipe coming out of the wall
These valves have broken in the off and the on positions
A plumber needs to replace these valves
When broken then the entire building's water must be shut off in order to replace the unit's valve
- This needs to be scheduled and other residences notified
If you replace the value before it breaks then another value may be inserting inline after the old valve
- Shut off the water with the old valve
- The plumber takes the piping apart in order to insert a new valve
- The old valve it opened and the valve handle is remove
- Now the new valve can be used to shut off the water
The board recommends every unit have a new valve inserted
You may alternatively insert what I call a Smart Valve
- Flo by Moen is the only one of which I am currently aware
- These will detect water leakage and automatically perform a water shutoff
- They have the ability to notify you on your smart phone with an APP
- You can remotely shutoff your main water with your phone
Each home owner is responsible for the cost of this maintenance

Packages stolen

Posted on Feb 3rd, 2018

Greetings,

There have been more reports of packages stolen from the front door of the units.

Suggestions

Amazon has a locker system at the local 7-11 Convenience store down the street. I had thought they had removed it but just saw it on 6/2019.
Some shipping services can be instructed to keep the package at a local Sunnyvale office for pickup.

A word about electric vehicles

Posted on Apr 4th, 2016

I'd like to remind home owners that not all garages have the capacity to charge electric vehicles.

Please review the HOA policy on electric vehicles.
